Those With Body Bushing/Mount Issues

[swshawaii]

Eddie took the initiative to contact the manufacturer, Vibracoustic North America, regarding this widespread problem.

Those affected should do the same. If you missed the original post yesterday, read below, then use the link to contact the supplier.

The more people getting involved will only improve your chances for compensation or resolving. Good Luck.

Steve,



I havent heard back from them..

Think maybe they are talking to their lawyers and Fords legal dept...LOL



Plus Im curious if any other members have contacted vibracoustic and NHSTA.

I would be nice to know if any other members are willing to put their name out there.

I find that to be the usual on the board. Alot of gripes but no one contacts the manufactors.

Not to be the pessimist, but I doubt the company is consulting at all. Why? Any legal ramifications would be between either owners and Ford or Ford and the manufacturer.



I agree, though, that the testing was not enough to determine the durability of the bushing material.

I sent them a message...everyone should

I saw that my ST's bushings are kaput...



Anyone know the part number and how much I could get them...even the OEM ones?



TIA..
